The one-man show, written and performed by Nash, will be presented Feb. 19 and 21 at the Ars Nova Theater. Show time is 8 PM. Holy Cross Sucks! will take audiences through Nash's four years at a Jesuit high school in Texas. According to production notes, "The four years of high school that Nash explores reach far beyond a specific four-year period of time; instead, each year (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) takes us to a different decade. . . Nash invites his audience to revisit a place that is uncomfortable for many people, a common right of passage, when everything wonderful and everything evil about us is most unbearably and frighteningly magnified."

Rob Nash, whose stand-up has been featured on VH-1 and Comedy Central, was one of the first out gay comics in America. He has performed in comedy clubs and colleges around the country, and he teaches classes for actors called "Flying Solo."
